Am is missing something here? Obviously bits of the -set.xml files may
need to be loaded
Has anyone else been having a problem with trying to set the fuel load at
startup using property /consumables/fuel/tank[n]/level-gal_us ? I find that
sometimes I get the fuel load I want, and sometimes I get empty tanks. Is it
just me? This might be specific to JSBSim.

allows setting fuel load as well as FlightGear. It could be that we are
inconsistent in defining fuel load: do some aircraft models define it in
JSBSim, and others do it vice versa? In JSBSim we can and
The way I see it, the aircraft configuration files should define the
possibilities of the aircraft and not the current state. I was under the
impression the current state was defined in the reset00 and
